EUROPE - Ursula von der Leyen congratulated Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party on their "victory" in the general election and outlined the next phases of the Brexit process. The President of the European Commission said the EU want their relationship with Britain to be "as close as possible" and said they were aiming for a "zero tariff, zero quota, zero dumping" arrangement. She revealed that the European Council has again tasked the European Commission to be the European Union's negotiator with Britain. Ursula von der Leyen also declared the European Union will be prepared from February 1 to "go to work" regarding the Brexit process.
She continued: "This is the beginning of excellent future relations between good neighbours. It is also of utmost importance that we care for the 3.5 million European citizens in the UK. Therefore we are getting ready now to formulate the mandate that is necessary to start the negotiations and to be prepared from February 1 to go to work." Today Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has also congratulated Johnson on his “clear election victory".
Mrs Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert this morning tweeted: “Congratulations, Boris Johnson, on your resounding victory. I look forward to our further cooperation for the friendship and close partnership of our countries.” The backing from Mrs Merkel echoed an almost complete backing for Mr Johnson across the EU. Both EU President Charles Michel and Luxembourg leader Xavier Bettel congratulated the Prime Minister on his re-election.
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
